Berthold Seemann (1825-71), a German-born botanist and traveller,
published several scientific books and articles. He also composed
music and in the 1860s he wrote three plays which enjoyed some
success in Germany. In 1846 Seemann was appointed naturalist to the
British ship HMS Herald, which was engaged in a hydrographical
survey of the Pacific. In this two-volume work, published in 1853,
the author recounts how he joined the Herald in Panama in 1847 and
remained on board until 1851. The ship explored almost all of the
West Coast of America and also sailed north into the Arctic seas.
In Volume 2, the Herald is ordered to the Bering Strait to search
for the Arctic explorer John Franklin. New islands are discovered
and Seemann collects anthropological data related to the Inuit. The
Herald also visits the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) several times, and
eventually returns home via the Ascension Island.
